Verse 1
C
E
C
E
I am a rovin' hackler lad
C
that loves the shamrock shore
My name is Pat McDonald
and my age is eighty -four
Beloved and well -respected
by my neighbours one and all
E
C
On St. Patrick's Day
I would like to stray
round Lavey and Grouse Hall
When I was young I danced and sung
and drank strong whisky too
Fm
It's sheep and shop that sold a drop
C
of real old Mountain Dew
Bb
C
But Pudgin's still on every hill,
the Peelers had no call
Round Sweet Stradone
Edim
I am well known,
C
round Lavey and Grouse Hall
I used to go from town to town
for hackling was my trade
Fm
There came the night I thought I'd die,
Eb
Bbm
an honest living maid
Bb
C
For ere it's day be night or day,
the youth would always call
Eb
To have the crack with Paddy Jack,
C
the hackler from Grouse Hall
Fm
C
I think it's the range
how very much the times have changed
of late Coercion, that was all,
Fm
Eb
they're out with dealers on their bait
Bbm
C
To take it, alas, is now alas,
the greatest crime of all
Eb
Oh, since Balfour placed that hungry beast,
C
the sergeant from Grouse Hall
Is busy too with the casserole,
he wanders night and day
He'll take a goat,
I'll buy the throat for one to better pray
Bb
C
The nasty skunk,
he'll swear you're drunk,
though you've had none at all
Eb
There is no peace around the place
C
Bb
C
since he came to Grouse Hall
It was on pretence of his offence,
he dragged me off to jail,
Alone to dwell in a cold cell,
Bb
me fortune to bewail.
C
Before he had a nap
like bedsit runs for vengeance call,
He rue'd the day he dragged away
the hackler from Rosehall.
He run't hell -bell down into hell
to search for Pudge in there,
And won't be loath to swear an oath
Eb
he found it in Kilkare.
Bb
C
The nymphs are fed from foot to head,
sheets, blankets, tick and all
Eb
Your wife undressed must leave the
C
nest for Jemmy for ungrows all
Come, old and young,
clear up your lung
and sing this little song
Come join with me and let them
Bb
see you all resent the wrong
C
And while I live
I'll always give a prayer for his downfall
Eb
And when I die, I don't deny,
Bb
I'll haunt him from grows
C
tall

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
